Martha Stewart believes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will keep their wedding private but playful

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight , Martha Stewart said she expects the couple to avoid a public spectacle.

“They will probably gonna keep it private, from what I’ve been hearing,” Stewart said. She praised the pair’s judgment, adding, “They are charming, they are savvy, they know what they are doing.”

When pressed on whether Travis Kelce’s football career should influence the wedding theme, Stewart dismissed the idea. “Oh no,” she replied. But she quickly offered something she thinks guests would enjoy: “Signed footballs by Travis wouldn’t be a bad going-away gift at the wedding.”

Travis Kelce talks live music and balancing Kansas City Chiefs struggles with wedding plans

Travis Kelce addressed wedding planning during the Sept. 17 episode of the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce and guest Jimmy Fallon. Fallon asked whether the couple had made decisions yet.

“Yeah, I think we’re live music kind of people, you know?” Travis Kelce said. Asked if a DJ was on the table, he doubled down: “We’re live music … people.”

He also poked fun at his priorities as the Kansas City Chiefs opened the 2025 NFL season with back-to-back losses. “That one’s going to be easy. I’ve just got to figure out how to win a football game first. The wedding’s going to be easy compared to trying to catch a football,” Kelce said.

Social media criticism has piled up after those early losses, with fans targeting not only his on-field performance but also his off-field fashion choices. The pressure has only added fuel to the spotlight already on him and Taylor Swift.
